Just about everyone is connected to someone who’s been affected by breast cancer. Here’s a chance to learn some of their stories.

CHICAGO (AP) - The American Cancer Society now says women should start mammograms later in life and get fewer of them, a stance that puts the trusted group closer to an influential government task force's advice.

While everyone is at risk for breast cancer, there’s a group of women that may be getting cancer and don’t even know it yet.

 In recognition of breast cancer awareness month, the Pride Center at Equality Park in Wilton Manors will facilitate free breast exams as part of an evening of awareness. Breast Fest takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 24 at the main hall of the Schubert Building at the Pride Center. The events also features vendor booths, live entertainment, refreshments, raffles and more.

The saying, “When it rains, it pours,” was never truer than Oct. 23 in Fort Lauderdale.

For all tourists and would-be residents, Wilton Manors has a message: “Life’s Just Better Here.”
